Q100's Melissa Carter is cast as a vendor in the upcoming MMO Global Agenda

Melissa Carter is a successful and highly popular radio host in the Atlanta Area, broadcasting on Q100’s The Bert Show.

However, at heart, Melissa is a geek with a dream — to do voiceover work either in animation or gaming. So back in December, she made a New Year’s Resolution on the air. Luckily for Hi-Rez, we had some fans listening that day, and quickly placed a call to help her dream come true.

Since then, Melissa has come to the Studio for voice and motion capture work, with additional sessions on the way.

The video below shows how Hi-Rez used motion capture technology and a lot of great acting from Melissa to produce some in-game emotes. Keep watching for more updates as Melissa continues to work with us, and read about her overall experience in her blog!

We are excited to introduce our community to the world of Global Agenda, a setting of future action-espionage, advanced technology, and player-driven conflict that we call “spy-fi”.

Our gameplay trailer demonstrated Global Agenda’s fast-paced combat — incorporating jetpacks, turrets, forcefields, robots, and other futuristic weapons. However, little information has been revealed to date about our setting.

The new fiction is found here, authored by our own lead writer Nathan Knaack. The story provides a glimpse into our futuristic spy-fi world. In this piece, we learn a bit about the ways of The Commonwealth, a prominent faction within Global Agenda, that serves as an NPC enemy for player agents.

We hope you enjoy it!!
